I always hoped they'd swallow their pride and put out a D20 version of Rifts. I mean, even if you hate D20 it's worth it for the crossover potential alone! You could run into anything from a drug-crazed half-ork to a jedi knight.

I've never played Rifts or anything from Palladium Books before, but I ran across an article about them having financial issues lately. The dir/pres guy stated that he's been doing "everything in his power?" bah.. They could do a D20 version like you said or find other alternatives to keep their games going.

D20s are not that bad and crossovers make good RP and have a high shock value in certain situations.

Rifts is a post-holocaust game wherein detonation of hydrogen bombs on earth along the mystical ley lines opened up portals to other worlds and dimentions. As such, Earth became a mish-mash of cultures and confederacies and magic came back into the world, existing side by side with high technology much like Shadowrun. I always thought a D20 crossover guide would be a natural choice for the series.

It was. And although it can be fairly munchkin at times, there's good opportunities for RPing.

It's by the same person who wrote Witchcraft (with the exception of the last book).

Sadly, the only books that actually talk about the protagonists are the main book, and the second book. The third deals strictly with bad-guys. The 4th deals with moratal wizards. And the last is basically about angels... (Ya...)
